I have a feeling they'll delay and let the track dry. Would love to see a qualifying like this https://youtu.be/tXgEAuQQujo

 

[Tempy]

I could use some rain here myself.

 

[Lima]

10 minute delay already lol.

 

[Zeknurn]

Start delayed by 10 minutes.

 

[kharma45]

Call me the oracle

 

[spuckthew]

Looks fucking dark and miserable

 

[Tempy]

Yeah, that's a lot of rain.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Must be something about those turbos that invites major climactic changes. The only explanation why we never get just rain in F1. It's always a deluge.

 

[Xando]

Damn, that's a lot of rain

 

[kharma45]

Pity we don't have the old monsoon tyres. They'd do well to just drop the full wet and bring it back in its place.

 

[Zeknurn]

Indeed.

One would like to imagine that a little bit of water wouldn't stop the most expensive motorsport in the world from driving.

 

[Par Score]

lol at that "WET TRACK" sign. Like, no shit.

 

[RoKKeR]

Damn, that's a lot of standing water.

 

[bobnowhere]

It's time Bernie

 

[Elvin Atombender]

This could be an interesting qualifying session when/if they get going.

 

[Tempy]

Another 10min delay.

 

[Zeknurn]

Another 10 minute delay.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

I could have slept another 20 minutes at least, damn it.

 

[Zeknurn]

RIO HARYANTO spotted.

Those tyres were never used under race conditions. Like, literally never.

They were occasionally used to swim around behind the safety car, just like we do now on the full wets.

Indeed.

You cannae change the laws of physics.

The cars are so light that at some point they literally start floating.

 

[Lima]

Yo that slo mo of the safety car. God damn.

Indeed.

A little bit of water he says. Haha.

 

[Xando]

Safety car creating tsunami waves

Red Bull better get their paper boats ready

Yes because we had good wet tyres back then from Goodyear. This Pirelli wet is not.

Although true, since the cars are so light aquaplaning is a concern.

 

[Xando]

Looks like it's gonna start in 6 minutes without further delay

 

[Lima]

1000hp on the Mercedes. What a monster. Toto you fool. Don't slip this out in a casual conversation in the pits.

 

[Zeknurn]

So they're going to try to get Q1 done before the next wave? Looks like we're in for an upset.

 

[Mastah]

As much as I enjoy criticising Charlie, that was good decision by him. But they should also race in such conditions as when Q1 will start, not only drive around in practice or quali.

 

[Xando]

Just casually letting this slip during the interview


oooops

 

[Par Score]

More rain in 5 minutes, might only be time for one lap.

 

[Zeknurn]

Now these are perfect qualifying conditions. #berniesprinklers

 

[chadskin]

So, who bins it first?

 

[Xando]

Qualifying in wet conditions.

Loving it

So, who bins it first?

Sauber or Toro Rosso

 

[Tempy]

Haryanto for pole.

 

[kharma45]

So, who bins it first?

Palmer

 

[Zeknurn]

So, who bins it first?

Hamilton


The Vettel shoulder cam is incredible in these conditions.

 

[kharma45]

Based alonso

 

[Juicy Bob]

This is fucking crazy.

 

[chadskin]

Red flag.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Alright Perez on top

 

[Mastah]

Yep, another good decision, it's too much.

 

[RoKKeR]

WIL wet pace...

Damn these conditions. Insane!

 

[Xando]

That Vettel onboard was insane

 

[Zeknurn]

Charlie, please don't restart the session. This is a good grid for Sunday.

 

[TCRS]

aaaaand... red flag

 

[Tempy]

Mercedes dead last. Call it now plz.

 

[Xando]

Perez driving 292 km/h during this weather.

Maniac

 

[RoKKeR]

Good call there, between the standing water and visibility that looked borderline un-runnable.

Please let this order stand!

 

[dakun]

Why would Hamilton slow down to make space when it's clear you need every lap time you can get. That was a dumb decision in these conditions

 

[nature boy]

Dear Hungary,

you're a shit track but you didn't have to overdo it with the weather.

Thanks.

 

[Tempy]

Oh that looks like a fun waterslide.
